    Call Len @ Cowtown. Len gave me a great deal and personally adjusted them for me. He then shipped them to me and had them on my front porch waiting for me when we got home.

    I really appreciate it when the folks on the forum support the forum vendors, and as far as buying our products, you will not find better after sales service than at Cowtown.

    Contact Len ( Pitbullbuggy) and he will take good care of you.

    Thanks for all the fast replies. I called Elka and talked to John about how I ride my Spyder. After talking to him in length I bought the Elka 3-way compression and rebound adjustment with the fast And low speed adjustment. He gave me a great deal with shock shrouds and shipping. We then to talk about the Spyder and he was very well versed in the suspension. He also said nothing but good things about Lamont and the Spyder lovers forum.
    He also praised Cowtown and how they are extremely helpful with people that are wanting Elkas. With the customer service I recieved from John at Elka I will be a lifetime supporter of there product. Customer service goes a really long way with me!!!

    Who me? Pleasant? Knowledgable? C'mon guys, I wouldn't want any of my co-workers to read this. It would ruin my reputation and get them to stop fearing me, making me lose my "power".

    I like Elka shocks so well that we will not take delivery of our next new Spyder without Elka shocks already installed and ready to go.

    ...or they could watch a video of you dealing with the Elka canopy and the wind at Spyderfest.

    Well I put 700 miles on my RT Fri-Mon and the front ELKA shocks sure do show just how bad the stock suspension really was. I am going to get a rear shock also. The front really shows now the the week spot is the rear when I ride my spyder hard. Going to give John a call.
